Description

General This manual applies to ZTS600 instruments.

Tele-scope • Measuring with IR mode: When measuring distances to areflector with Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) mode"IR", the telescope uses a wide visible red laser beam, whichemerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.

• Measuring with RL modes: Instruments that are equippedwith a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM mode"RL". When meauring distances with this EDM mode, thetelescope uses a narrow visible red laser beam, whichemerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.

In edit mode the position of the decimal place cannot be changed. The decimalplace is skipped.

Special charac-ters

Character Description

* Used as wildcards in search fields for point numbers or codes.

Refer to "2.5 Pointsearch".

+/- In the alphanumeric character set "+" and "-" are treated asnormal alphanumeric characters with no mathematical function.

"+" / "-" only appear in front of an entry.

In this example selecting 2 on thekeyboard would start the Point Projec-tion application.




2.5 Pointsearch

Description Pointsearch is a function used by applications to find measured or fixed pointsin the memory storage.It is possible to limit the point search to a particular job or to search the wholestorage. The search procedure always finds fixed points before measuredpoints that fulfill the same search criteria. If several points meet the searchcriteria, then the results are ordered according to the entry date. The instru-ment finds the most recent fixed point first.

Direct search By entering an actual point number, for example 402, and pressing SEARCH,all points within the selected job and with the corresponding point number are

found.

SEARCHTo search for matching pointswithin the selected job.

COORD=0To set all ENZ coordinates for thepoint ID to 0.




Wildcard search The wildcard search is indicated by a "*". The asterisk is a place holder for anyfollowing sequence of characters. Wildcards should be used if the point numberis not fully known, or to search for a batch of points.

Examples ofpoint searches

* All points are found.A All points with exactly the point number "A" are found.A* All points starting with "A" are found, for example, A9, A15, ABCD,

A2A.*1 All points containing only one "1" are found, for example, 1, A1, AB1.A*1 All points starting with "A" and containing only one "1" are found, for

example, A1, AB1, A51.

3.1 Instrument Setup

Description This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using thelaser plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the needfor a marked ground point.

Important features• It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and

avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.

• The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of

the instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreci-ably easier to center the instrument.

• The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equippedwith an optical plummet.

Tripod

When setting up the tripod pay atten-tion to ensuring a horizontal positionof the tripod plate. Slight corrections

of inclination can be made with thefoot screws of the tribrach. Largercorrections must be done with thetripod legs.



Operation ZTS600 | 25

Loosen the clamping screws on thetripod legs, pull out to the requiredlength and tighten the clamps.

a In order to guarantee a firm footholdsufficiently press the tripod legs intothe ground.

b When pressing the legs into the

ground note that the force must beapplied along the legs.

Careful handling of tripod.• Check all screws and bolts for correct

fit.

• During transport always use thecover supplied.

• Use the tripod only for surveyingtasks.

b





Setup step-by-step

1. Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture. Position

the tripod over the marked ground point, centring it as best as possible.2. Fasten the tribrach and instrument onto the tripod.

3. Turn on the instrument, press FNC from within any application and selectElectr.Level/Laserpl.

4. Move the tripod legs and use the tribrach footscrews to center the plummetover the ground point.

5. Adjust the tripod legs to level the circular level.

6. By using the electronic level, turn the tribrach footscrews to precisely level

the instrument. Refer to "Level up with the electronic level step-by-step".7. Center the instrument precisely over the ground point by shifting the

tribrach on the tripod plate.

8. Repeat steps 6. and 7. until the required accuracy is achieved.




Level up with theelectronic levelstep-by-step

The electronic level can be used to precisely level up the instrument using thefootscrews of the tribrach.1. Turn the instrument until it is parallel to two footscrews.

2. Center the circular level approximately by turning the footscrews of thetribrach.

3. Turn on the instrument, press FNC from within any application and selectElectr.Level/Laserpl.

The bubble of the electronic level and the arrows for the rotatingdirection of the footscrews only appear if the instrument tilt isinside a certain levelling range.

4. Center the electronic level of the firstaxis by turning the two footscrews.Arrows show the direction of rotationrequired. When the electronic level iscentered the arrows are replaced bycheckmarks.





6. Accept with OK.

5. Center the electronic level for thesecond axis by turning the last foot-screw. An arrow shows the direction ofrotation required. When the electronic

level is centered the arrow is replaced bya checkmark.

When the electronic level iscentered and three checkmarksare shown, the instrument hasbeen perfectly levelled up.




Change theintensity of thelaser plummet

External influences and the surface conditions may require the adjustment ofthe intensity of the laser plummet.

Position overpipes or holes

Under some circumstances the laser dot is not visible, for example over pipes.In this case, using a transparent plate enables the laser dot to be seen and

then easily aligned to the center of the pipe.

3.2 Working with the Battery

Charging / first-time use• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it

is delivered with an energy content as low as possible.

• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time(> three months), it is effectual to make 2 - 5 charge/discharge cycles.

• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to+35°C/+32°F to +95°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the

The laser can be adjusted in 25%steps as required.





batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to+68°F if possible.

• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using thechargers recommended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery

if the temperature is too high.Operation / discharging• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +50°C/-4°F to +122°F.

• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; veryhigh operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

Change thebattery step-by-

step

1. Remove battery holder.

2. Insert battery holder into instrument.

3.3 Data Storage

Description An internal memory is included in all instruments. The firmware stores all datain jobs in a database in the internal memory. Data can then be transferred toa computer or other device for post processing via a cable connected to theserial interface RS232 port.Refer to "10 Data Management" for further information on data managementand data transfer.

Insert battery correctly (note polemarkings on the inside of the batteryholder). Check and insert batteryholder true to side into the housing.

• For the type of battery refer to "14 Tech-nical Data".

3.6 Distance Measurements - Guidelines for Correct Re-sults

Description A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the instrument. The distance canbe determined by using a visible red laser beam which emerges coaxially fromthe telescope objective. There are two EDM modes:

STN.To enter station data and set thestation.

SetHATo set the horizontal orientation.

• Prism measurements (IR) • Non-Prism measurements (RL)




RL measure-ments

• When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to theobject which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruc-

tion, for example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between theinstrument and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to theobstruction.

• Be sure that the laser beam is not reflected by anything close to the line ofsight, for example highly reflective objects.

• Avoid interrupting the measuring beam while taking Non-Prism measure-ments or measurements using reflective foils.

• Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously.

IR measure-ments

• Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in Prism-standardmode.




• Measurements to strongly reflecting targets such as traffic lights in Prismmode without a prism should be avoided. The measured distances may bewrong or inaccurate.

• When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the

object which is in the beam path at that moment. If for example people,cars, animals, or swaying branches cross the laser beam while a measure-ment is being taken, a fraction of the laser beam is reflected from theseobjects and may lead to incorrect distance values.

• Measurements to prisms are only critical if an object crosses the measuringbeam at a distance of 0 to 30 m and the distance to be measured is morethan 300 m.

• In practice, because the measuring time is very short, the user can always

find a way of avoiding unwanted objects from interferring in the beampath.

Red laser toprism

• RL-Prism mode enables distance measurements of over 3.5 km tostandard prisms using the visible red laser beam.

Red laser toreflector tape

• The visible red laser beam can also be used to measure to reflective foils.To guarantee the accuracy the red laser beam must be perpendicular to

the reflector tape and it must be well adjusted.• Make sure the additive constant belongs to the selected target (reflector).

Dual face meas-urements

When measuring the same target in both faces, the reflector height may notbe changed when observing in the second face. Error checks are made for dualface measurements to ensure the same point is sighted with the other face.



• If a target point is measured several times in the same face the last valid

measurement is used for computation.

• For the calculation of the station position, measured target points can bere-measured, included in calculations, or excluded from calculations.

Measurementsnot included incomputations

Target points with 0.000 height are discarded for height processing. If a targetpoint has a valid height of 0.000 m, use 0.001 m to include it for heightprocessing.

9.4.3 Computation Procedure

Description The measuring procedure automatically determines the method of evaluation,for example resection or three point resection.If more than the minimum required measurements are performed, the proce-dure uses a least squares adjustment to determine the 3D position and aver-ages orientation and height measurements.• The original averaged face I and face II measurements are used for the

computation process.• All measurements are treated with the same accuracy, whether these are

measured in single or dual face.

• Easting and Northing are determined by the least squares method, whichincludes standard deviation and improvements for horizontal direction andhorizontal distances.

• The final height (Z) is computed from averaged height differences basedon the original measurements.

11 Check & Calibrate

11.1 Overview

Description GeoMax instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the bestpossible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause devi-ations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to

check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This can be done in thefield by running through specific measurement procedures The procedures are



Check & Calibrate ZTS600 | 145

field by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures areguided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as described in thefollowing chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical parts can beadjusted mechanically.

Electronic cali-bration

The following instrument errors can be checked and calibrated electronically:• Horizontal collimation error, also called line-of-sight error.

• Vertical index error, and simultaneously the electronic level.

For determining these errors, it is necessary to measure in both faces, but theprocedure can be started in any face.

Mechanical cali-bration

The following instrument parts can be calibrated mechanically:• Circular level on the instrument and tribrach.

• Laser plummet.

• Screws on the tripod.

ZTS600 | 146Check & Calibrate

During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully deter-mined and set to zero. As mentioned, these errors can change and it is highlyrecommended to redetermine them in the following situations:• Before the instrument is used for the first time.

• Before every high precision survey.

• After rough or long periods of transport.

• After long periods of work or storage.• If the temperature difference between current environment and the



If the temperature difference between current environment and thetemperature at the last calibration is more than 10°C (18°F).

11.2 Preparation

Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to theambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature

Before determining the instrument errors, level-up the instrument

using the electronic level.The tribrach, the tripod and the ground should be very stable andsecure from vibrations or other disturbances.

The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight in order toavoid thermal expansion on one side only.

difference from storage to working environment, but at least 15 min, shouldbe taken into account.

The line-of-sight error, or horizontal collimation error is the deviation from theperpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the

line-of-sight error to the horizontal direction increases with the vertical angle.




c Horizontal collimation, or line-of-sight, error


Vertical indexerror

The vertical circle should read exactly 90° (100 gon) when the line of sight ishorizontal. Any deviation from this figure is termed vertical index error. This isa constant error that affects all vertical angle readings.



Access 1. Select Calibr. from the MAIN MENU.

• Select:• HA-Collimation, or

• VA-Index.

The procedures and conditions required to correct line-of-sight and verticalindex errors are the same, therefore the procedure will only be described once.

Calibrate thecircular levelstep-by-step


1. Place and secure the tribrach onto the tripod, and then secure the instru-ment onto the tribrach.

2. Using the tribrach footscrews, level the instrument with the electroniclevel. To activate the electronic level, press FNC from within any applica-tion and select Electr.Level/Laserpl.

3. The bubbles of the instrument and tribrach levels must be centered. If oneor both circular levels are not centered, adjust as follows.

Instrument: If the bubble extends beyond the circle, use the Allen keysupplied to center it with the adjustment screws



supplied to center it with the adjustment screws.

Tribrach: If the bubble extends beyond the circle, adjust it using theadjustment pin in conjunction with the adjustment screws. Turn theadjustment screws:

• To the left: and the bubble approaches the screw.

• To the right: and the bubble goes away from the screw.

4. Repeat step 3. on the instrument and tribrach until both circular levels arecentered and no further adjustments are necessary.

After the adjustment, no adjustment screw should be loose.

11.5 Inspecting the Laser Plummet of the Instrument

The laser plummet is integrated into the vertical axis of the instrument. Undernormal conditions of use, the laser plummet does not need adjusting. If an

adjustment is necessary due to external influences, the instrument has to bereturned to a GeoMax service department.

Inspect the laserplummet step-by-step




1. Set up the instrument on the tripod approximately 1.5 m above the groundand level up.

2. To activate the laser plummet, turn on the instrument, press FNC fromwithin any application and select Electr.Level/Laserpl.

3. Mark the center of the red laser dot on the ground.

4. Turn the instrument slowly through 360°, carefully observing the move-

ment of the red laser dot.

Inspection of the laser plummet should be carried out on a bright,smooth and horizontal surface, such as a sheet of paper.


5. If the center of the laser dot makes a clearly circular movement, or movesmore than 3 mm away from the point which was first marked, an adjust-ment may be required. Call your nearest GeoMax service department.

Depending on brightness and surface type, the size of the laser dot canvary. At a height of 1.5 m an average diameter of 2.5 mm is estimated.

The maximum diameter of the circular movement described bythe center of the laser dot should not exceed 3 mm at a height of1.5 m.

14.7 Scale Correction

Use of scalecorrection

By entering a scale correction, reductions proportional to distance can be takeninto account.• Atmospheric correction.

• Reduction to mean sea level.

• Line of sight error • Refraction

• Earth curvature • Compensator index error

• Standing axis tilt • Circle eccentricity

• Vertical index error


• Projection distortion.

Atmosphericcorrection

The distance displayed is correct if the scale correction in ppm, mm/km, whichhas been entered corresponds to the atmospheric conditions prevailing at thetime of the measurement.

The atmospheric correction includes:• Adjustments for air pressure

• Air temperature

For highest precision distance measurements, the atmospheric correctionshould be determined with:



should be determined with:• An accuracy of 1 ppm

• Air temperature to 1°C

• Air pressure to 3 mbar

Atmospheric

corrections °C

Atmospheric corrections in ppm with temperature [°C], air pressure [mb] and

height [m] at 60 % relative humidity.

The instrument calculates the slope distance, horizontal distance, and heightdifference in accordance with the following formulas. Earth curvature (1/R)and mean refraction coefficient (k = 0.13) are automatically taken into accountwhen calculating the horizontal distance and height difference. The calculatedhorizontal distance relates to the station height and not to the reflector height.
